Hmm? Apart from the "dark room" bit, how is it not analogous? "Get the bag of chips." Who? Which bag of chips? What is the context?

If there is a special context say, there is only one person and one bag of chips, which is similar to there being one file and one program to open it with certain options say, and you do it often enough, an apt shell user would bake that into either an alias or a short shell script. It's rare that I use more than 4 options on a command before baking it into a script. That's very analogous to language: things like slang, contractions, and sayings that make sense in certain contexts form naturally between people or even in some situations, are decided explicitly.

Of course, come times of ambiguity, then you have to explain yourself, just like when a script you usually use as a shortcut doesn't match a certain need, and you crack open the original call, which man helps with, and may be you write another script if need be.
